E eu que andava nessa escuridão, 
De repente foi me acontecer.
Me roubou o sono e a solidão, 
Me mostrou o que eu temia ver. 
Sem pedir licença nem perdão, 
Veio louca pra me enlouquecer. 

Vou dormir querendo despertar, 
Pra depois de novo conviver 
Com essa luz que veio me habitar, 
Com esse fogo que me faz arder. 
Me dá medo e vem me encorajar, 
Fatalmente me fará sofrer. 

Ando escravo da alegria. 
Hoje em dia, minha gente, 
Isso não é normal. 
Se o amor é fantasia, 
Eu me encontro ultimamente 
Em pleno carnaval.
